⚡ Fast Olympic Coding ⚡
Once a mighty Competitive Programming plugin... Reborn with the powers of VSCode!
⚡ Overview
- 📜 Minimal and adaptive UI for maximized functionality and view utilization
- 🐞 Built-in stress tester to aid your debugging
- 👜 Insert file templates without leaving your code
- 🛜 Support for Competitive Companion for efficient problem gathering
- ⚡ BLAZINGLY FAST! Asynchronous design + optimizations = 99% spam proof!
💻 Keybinds
- Compile and run all testcases:
Ctrl+Alt+B
- Stop all testcases:
Ctrl+Alt+K
- Delete all testcases:
Ctrl+Alt+D
- Save all testcases:
Ctrl+Alt+S
- Run stress test:
Ctrl+Alt+G
- Stop stress test:
Ctrl+Alt+H
- Insert file template:
Ctrl+Alt+I
</> Setting Up
Provide run settings for the languages you use in settings.json. Here are some examples for C++, Python, and Java:
{
"fastolympiccoding.runSettings": {
".cpp": {
"compileCommand": "g++ ${path:${file}} -o ${path:${fileDirname}/${fileBasenameNoExtension}${exeExtname}}",
"runCommand": "${path:${fileDirname}/${fileBasenameNoExtension}${exeExtname}}"
},
".py": {
"runCommand": "python ${path:${file}}"
},
".java": {
"compileCommand": "javac ${path:${file}}",
"runCommand": "java -cp ${fileDirname} ${fileBasenameNoExtension}"
}
}
}
We can use the following variables in the syntax of ${...}
- Most of VSCode's built-in variables
${exeExtname} returns .exe for Windows and an empty string for other platforms${path:*value*} normalizes *value* into a valid path string for the current platform
Settings per language
compileCommand (optional): Command to run before runCommand when the file content changedrunCommand: Command to run the solutioncurrentWorkingDirectory (optional): sets the current working directory for runCommand
📜 Judge
The UI adapts to VSCode's theme, font family and font size. Minimalism from the old plugin has been improved with VSCode Codicons and the native look of VSCode. The new UI experience is integrated into both Judge and Stress Tester windows.
- Run, edit, hide, skip testcases, you name it!
- Hidden optimizations such as batched IO, truncating huge IO, and cached compilations.
- Dedicated popup for compiler errors with color support
- ... and so much more!
General setting for both Testcase Window and Stress Tester
maxDisplayCharacters: Maximum number of characters to display for each outputmaxDisplayLines: Maximum number of lines to display for each output
🐞 Stress Tester
Required files (naming scheme can be configured in settings):
<name>.[ext]: the solution to bruteforce against
<name>__Good.[ext]: the solution that outputs the correct answer
<name>__Generator.[ext]: to generate inputs for the other 2 files
- The extension provides a 64-bit integer seed input for random number generators!
💡TIP: To stress test for Runtime Error instead of Wrong Answer, have the good solution be the same as the one to bruteforce against!

| Stress Tester was able to find an counterexample due to an integer overflow bug! |
Settings for Stress Tester
goodSolutionFile: Full path for good solution file (supports ${...})generatorFile: Full path for generator file (supports ${...})delayBetweenTestcases: Amount of delay between generated testcases in milliseconds (minimum: 5)stressTestcaseTimeLimit: Maximum time in milliseconds the Stress Tester is allowed to spend on one testcase (0 for no limit)stressTimeLimit: Maximum time in milliseconds the Stress Tester is allowed to run (0 for no limit)
👜 Inserting Prewritten Code
- Add the root directory of the templates to the settings
- NOTE: Remove trailing newlines for fold to work (folding is optional via settings)
- Folding depends on VSCode support, which may require other extensions depending on the language.

Possible settings
fileTemplatesBaseDirectory: Full path to the base directory of all prewritten files (supports ${...})fileTemplatesDependencies (optional): Maps a template path relative to base directory to a list of other relative template paths that this one depends onfoldFileTemplate (default: false): Whether to fold the newly inserted prewritten code
🛜 Competitive Companion

| We can parse an entire CodeForces Contest! |
Settings for Competitive Companion integration
openSelectedFiles (default: true): Whether to open all the selected filesaskForWhichFile (default: false): Ask for which file to write testcase onto, even when a file is currently opened and only a single problem has been receivedincludePattern (default: **/*): Glob pattern to filter in the included files for asking promptexcludePattern (default: empty): Glob pattern to filter out the included files for asking promptport (default: 1327): Port number to listen from Competitive Companion
